INe can hardly home to liye without

We can hardly hope to live without
making mistakes. All alsng back over
the past, we see little mounds where
lie buried things with which we wish
to have no more to do and in thinking
upon them we sigh that they should
never have been. But while such
things are to be regretted, 1t is q very
grave mistake to dwell upon them
morbidly. Better cast them away
from us, and in the light of our past ex-
perience go forward striving for a more
careful walk,

The feather-bed warriors, the hun
dred days men, when they talk about
their war exploits reminds one of the
following story: A man by the name
of Smith drove sutler's wagon for a
Pennsylvania regiment during the war
of the revolution and he lived to a
great age. After the veterans died off
he began to imagine that he took part
in every battle, and many thrilling ex-
periences he had to relate. Among,
them was this given in Smiths own,
words: ut was just before the battle
Of Monmouth when Gen. Washington
came to me and said: Smith, we shall
attack the enemy at daybreak, and we
must dislodge the Hessian regiment
directly In front of u.s. i sat up all
that night honing my saber and was in
line promptly in the morning. When
the bugle sounded started on a dead
run for that Hessian regiment, not
waiting for my comrades. fell upon
the ranks of the enemy. cut and
hacked, legs, arms and heads flew in
all directions. Great chunks of meat
were hurled into the air, and just as !
got the Hessians on the run / felt 9
hand upon my shoulder, / turned and
there stood the Father Of his Country;
who said: Smith, be gentle; you don't
want to make siaughter-house of this
whole continent.n

Mr.. Howell aud Mr.. Grady, the prorrletors

says be did his best to accomplish the defeat
of prohibition, and feels that he was but DO
Ing his duty as citizen sin Kidding the peo-
pie Of my county Of law which was mere
sentiment. and which was almost as openly
violated and as thoroughly Ineffective as if
no such law had been adopted" MIR. Grady,
on the other hand. says that he is firm in the
conviction that Atlanta has prospered under
two years of prohibition as she never pros
pered before, and that the experiment Of
prohibition in large city," succeeded in
Atlanta as no experiment under like obstruc-
tions ever succeeded before 1t will be re-
membered that during the campaign the Con-
stitution took no editorial position on the
question, but the two prnprietors argued 1t
pro and con over their own signatures.

The Bangor liquor dealers have had
plenty of time to set their shops in order,
and if they are not ready to receive the con-
stables today 1t must be because they have
neglected their opportunities. Two weeks is
long enough to rig up all the necessary traps
and spring locks, and other appliances So
familiar to the rum shop keepers outside Of
Bangor, as well as to hire spies to give
timely announcement Of the approach of
the officers. 1t looks to us as If the consta-
bles, in giving the Bangor rumsellers this
respite had treated them with entirely un-
necessary consideration. But ii they have
made a mistake in this, they can atone for it
by giving the people vigorous, impartial
and continuous enforcement of the law.
This they are understood as promising to
do. The public will watch with interest to
see how they fulfil that promise and how well
public sentiment IN Bangor sustains them.
